[0035] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] The embodiment of the present invention is applicable to the scenario of voice interaction according to the current state of the driver while the driver is driving the vehicle. The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for in-vehicle voice interaction, which achieves the effect of satisfying the driver's driving needs through voice interaction by accurately identifying the driver's emotional state and behavioral state.

[0037] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of an in-vehicle voice interaction method is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0038] In this embodiment, a vehicle-mounted voice interaction method is provided, which can be used in a vehicle controller. Figure 1 is a flow chart of a vehicle voice interaction method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0039] Step S101, obtaining the driver's emotional behavior information and driving status information.

[0040] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, a DMS (Drive Monitor System) camera, an OMS (Occupant Monitor System) camera, a microphone, an accelerometer, a gyroscope and other devices are deployed on the car. The embodiment of the present invention collects the driver's multi-angle facial information through the DMS camera and the OMS camera, such as the shape / position of the eyebrows, the state of the eyes, the shape of the mouth, the posture and movement of the head / body, the changes in skin color and texture, the tension of the muscles, etc.; collects the driver's voice information through the microphone, such as the volume of the voice, the speed of speech, the tone of voice, etc.; monitors the speed information of the vehicle through the acceleration information of the accelerometer to determine the change of the vehicle speed; monitors the steering information of the vehicle through the angle information of the gyroscope to determine the shaking of the vehicle. The above is only an example, but not limited to this. The embodiment of the present invention uses facial information and voice information as the driver's emotional behavior information, and uses speed information and steering information as the driving state information of the vehicle driven by the driver. To a certain extent, the driving state of the vehicle will be affected by emotions.

[0041] Step S102, identifying the driver's emotional state according to the emotional behavior information, and identifying the driver's behavioral state according to the driving state information.

[0042] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, an emotion recognition algorithm is developed based on an artificial intelligence algorithm, and a comprehensive analysis of facial information and sound information is performed, wherein the analysis of facial information involves image processing technology and deep learning algorithms, and facial features are extracted based on eyebrows, mouth, head, etc. in the above facial information, and the driver's emotions can be identified based on facial features. At the same time, if the driver is emotionally excited, he will also express himself verbally, and there will be differences in the volume, speed, tone, etc. of the voice under different emotions. Therefore, the driver's emotions can also be determined by performing audio feature analysis on the sound information. The embodiment of the present invention is based on an emotion recognition algorithm, combined with a comprehensive analysis of facial information and sound information, and can accurately identify the driver's emotional state, and the specific implementation of the emotion recognition algorithm is a conventional technical means in this field, which will not be repeated here.

[0043] In some optional implementations, the vehicle speed information and steering information collected by the embodiments of the present invention are formed based on the driving behaviors of the driver's hands and feet, such as the driver controlling the vehicle to perform rapid acceleration, sharp turns, frequent lane changes, etc., and these abnormal driving behaviors are largely due to the current driving environment affecting the driver's emotions and are made under the control of emotions. Therefore, the present invention is based on a vehicle-integrated behavior analysis algorithm to determine the driver's behavior state based on speed information and steering information, and the specific implementation of the behavior analysis algorithm is a conventional technical means in this field, which will not be repeated here.

[0044] Step S103, determining the driver's driving state according to the emotional state and the behavioral state, and performing voice interaction based on the driving state.

[0045] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, the driver's driving state is divided in advance according to the driver's emotional state and behavioral state, including a fatigue driving state, an angry driving state, and a dangerous driving state, wherein the fatigue driving state corresponds to a scenario where the driver is fatigued due to long-distance driving, the angry driving state corresponds to a scenario where the driver is angry due to traffic congestion, and the dangerous driving state corresponds to a scenario where the driver is extremely angry or nervous, which is for example only and is not limited thereto. In an embodiment of the present invention, when the driver controls the vehicle, the driver's emotional state is identified based on the driver's facial information and voice information, the driver's behavioral state is determined based on the vehicle's speed information and steering information, and a comprehensive analysis is performed based on the emotional state and the behavioral state to determine the driver's current driving state, and different voice interactions are performed in different driving states to comfort the driver or warn the driver, meet the driver's current driving needs, ensure driving safety, and avoid traffic accidents caused by abnormal driver emotions.

[0046] The in-vehicle voice interaction method provided by the embodiment of the present invention identifies the driver's emotional state based on the driver's emotional behavior information, identifies the driver's behavior state based on the driver's driving state information, determines the driver's driving state based on the emotional state and the behavior state, and performs voice interaction based on the driving state. The present invention can determine the driver's current driving state by combining emotional behavior and driving behavior, and meet the driver's driving needs through voice interaction, avoid traffic accidents, and improve driving comfort and safety.

[0047] In this embodiment, a vehicle-mounted voice interaction method is provided, which can be used in a vehicle controller. Figure 2 is a flow chart of a vehicle-mounted voice interaction method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0048] Step S201, obtaining the driver's emotional behavior information and the driving status information of the vehicle being driven. Figure 1 Step S101 of the illustrated embodiment will not be described in detail here.

[0049] Step S202, identifying the driver's emotional state based on the emotional behavior information, and identifying the driver's behavioral state based on the driving state information.

[0050] Specifically, the above step S202 includes:

[0051] Step S2021, based on a preset emotion recognition algorithm, comprehensively analyze the facial information and sound information to determine the driver's emotional state, where the emotional state includes at least one of the following: emotional state type, emotional intensity, emotional duration, emotional change trend, and attention impact degree.

[0052] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the emotion recognition module comprehensively analyzes the driver's facial information and voice information from five dimensions to determine the emotional state of the five dimensions, which are shown as follows, only as an example and not limited to this:

[0053] 1. Emotional state type, determined based on different facial and vocal information, including: anger, anxiety, fatigue, happiness, and calmness;

[0054] 2. Emotional intensity, determined by the degree of expression of facial information and voice information, including: mild, moderate or moderate emotional state. The more intense the driver's emotional state, the more obvious his facial expression and the louder his voice will be;

[0055] 3. Emotion duration, determined based on the duration of facial or voice information, including: short-term emotion fluctuations or long-term emotion fluctuations;

[0056] 4. Emotional change trends, determined based on changes in facial or voice information, including: emotional aggravation, emotional relief, and emotional stability;

[0057] 5. The degree of attention impact is determined based on the degree of impact of emotions on the driver’s attention, including: slight distraction, severe distraction and no impact.

[0058] Step S2022, based on a preset behavior analysis algorithm, comprehensively analyze the speed information and steering information to determine the driver's behavior state, which includes at least one of the following: driving safety, driving stability, driving habits, potential accident risks, driving efficiency, traffic impact degree and driving behavior improvement needs.

[0059] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the speed information and steering information of the driver are comprehensively analyzed from seven dimensions by the behavior analysis module, so as to determine the behavior states in seven dimensions, which are respectively as follows, which are only used as examples and are not limited to this:

[0060] 1. Driving safety, determined by the size of speed information and steering information, including: high-risk driving behavior, medium-risk driving behavior and low-risk driving behavior;

[0061] 2. Driving stability, determined by the frequency of change of speed information and steering information, including: stable, relatively unstable or unstable;

[0062] 3. Driving habits: analyzing speed information and steering information according to driving rules, including good driving habits, driving habits that need to be improved, and bad driving habits;

[0063] 4. Potential accident risk: risk prediction based on current speed information and steering information, including: high probability of accident, medium probability of accident and low probability of accident;

[0064] 5. Driving efficiency, determined based on the current speed information and steering information, including: efficient driving, normal efficiency driving, and inefficient driving;

[0065] 6. Traffic impact degree, determined according to the impact on road traffic when driving according to the current speed information and steering information, including: causing traffic congestion and not causing traffic congestion, among which, the impact on traffic flow is small or almost no impact is considered not causing traffic congestion;

[0066] 7. Demand for improving driving behavior, such as reducing the number of braking times, increasing the accuracy of using turn signals, etc.

[0067] Step S203, determining the driver's driving state according to the emotional state and the behavioral state, and performing voice interaction based on the driving state.

[0068] Specifically, the above step S203 includes:

[0069] Step S2031, determining the driving state according to at least one of the emotional state type, emotional intensity, emotional duration, emotional change trend, or attention impact degree.

[0070] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, the driver's driving state can be determined according to any dimension of the emotional state. For example, if the driver's emotional state type is identified as fatigue, the driving state is determined to be a fatigue driving state; or a comprehensive analysis is performed according to different dimensions to further determine the driver's driving state. For example, if the emotional state type is anger and the emotional intensity is severe, the driving state is comprehensively determined to be a dangerous driving state. This is only an example and is not limited to this.

[0071] Step S2032, confirming the driving status based on at least one of driving safety, driving stability, driving habits, potential accident risks, driving efficiency, traffic impact, or driving behavior improvement needs.

[0072] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, in order to ensure the accuracy of driving state identification, the initially determined driving state is confirmed based on the driver's behavioral state, because human emotions can cause changes in behavior. For example, the driver is determined to be in a fatigued driving state based on the emotional state. When the driver is fatigued driving, he will involuntarily reduce the force of his foot on the accelerator pedal, and his hands will also reduce the force of his grip on the steering wheel, causing the car to slow down and sway slightly left and right. By monitoring the accelerometer and gyroscope, it can be determined that the driver is in an unstable state, so it can be further confirmed that the driver is indeed in a fatigued driving state. Similarly, the embodiment of the present invention can further confirm the driver's driving state based on any dimension in the behavioral state, or conduct a comprehensive analysis based on different dimensions to confirm the driver's driving state, which is specifically determined based on the connection between the driving state and the behavioral state, and is not limited here.

[0073] Step S2033, obtaining the corresponding preset interactive reply language according to the driving status, and playing the preset interactive reply language in voice according to the preset tone and preset speed.

[0074] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, different interactive reply words are set in advance according to different driving states. When the driver is driving, after determining the current driving state according to the driver's emotions and behaviors, the car directly obtains the corresponding interactive reply words and plays them through the microphone in a preset tone and speed. For example, when the driver is angry and has aggressive driving behavior, the voice response will adopt a calm, peaceful and firm tone to remind the driver to pay attention to emotional control and give advice on safe driving; if the driver shows fatigue, the voice response will be gentle and slow, warmly reminding the driver to rest as soon as possible, and actively provide navigation information of nearby rest areas. The above functions are all executed by the adaptive voice adjustment module, such as Figure 3 shown.

[0075] Step S204, obtaining a corresponding preset interactive interface according to the driving state, and displaying the preset interactive interface; obtaining corresponding warning information according to the driving state, and displaying the warning information.

[0076] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, in order to further meet the driver's driving needs under various driving conditions, various functions of the car are fully called upon to comfort or prompt the driver. For example, an interactive interface and warning information are set according to the driving status, and the interactive interface and warning information are displayed on a display screen. Whether there is a corresponding interactive interface and warning information is confirmed according to the user's pre-settings.

[0077] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 3As shown, the embodiment of the present invention also provides a personalized setting module for users. Users can set personalized interactive reply messages, personalized interactive interface settings and personalized warning information according to their personal preferences and habits and different driving states. For example, they can choose to hear soothing music and encouraging words when they are anxious, such as "Friend, don't worry, every road is an opportunity for growth, I believe you can cope with it smoothly"; when they are tired, they prefer to be directly navigated to the nearest rest point; or they set that they do not want to be disturbed by voice under certain emotions, but prompt through vibration or indicator light. In addition, according to personal language preferences, the expression methods such as language, accent and intonation style of voice can be selected to meet the specific needs of different users. At the same time, the driver can independently set the reminder method and sensitivity for different driving behaviors to achieve a perfect match with their own needs. And according to the user's settings, a specific background color, picture or animation is displayed on the display screen, such as a peaceful forest picture, to help them relax. Alternatively, the driver can select different voice styles, music types, reply contents, etc. corresponding to different emotions in the system settings. When tired, the driver can choose to play soft classical music; when angry, the driver can choose to play cheerful pop music, etc. Specific reminder methods can also be set, such as voice reminders, vibration reminders or flashing lights. These are examples only and are not limited to this.

[0078] In some optional implementation manners, the embodiments of the present invention are described by taking the scenario where a driver is in a fatigued driving state due to long-distance driving and the scenario where a driver is in an angry driving state due to traffic congestion as examples, but are not limited thereto:

[0079] 1. Long-distance driving causes the driver to be in a fatigued driving state

[0080] ① The on-board camera captures characteristics of the driver such as frequent blinking, dull eyes, and relaxed facial muscles. The sound sensor detects that the driver speaks in a low voice, slow speech speed, and monotonous tone. The emotion recognition algorithm determines that the driver's emotional state type is fatigue, and therefore determines that the driver is in a fatigued driving state.

[0081] ② The accelerometer and gyroscope detected that the vehicle's speed was gradually decreasing and there was a slight left and right shaking. At the same time, the vehicle's electronic system showed that the lane departure warning was frequently triggered. The behavior analysis algorithm determined that the driver was in an unstable state, which may be related to fatigue. Therefore, it was confirmed that the driver was in a fatigued driving state.

[0082] ③ Obtain interactive responses in a fatigued driving state: "Dear driver, from your expression and voice, I can feel that you are a little tired. For your safety and comfort, there is a cozy rest area 10 kilometers ahead. How about we go there to rest for a while?", where the kilometer information is obtained through map navigation information.

[0083] ④Interactive UI (User Interface) display content: A pop-up window with a warm reminder pops up on the car display, showing "Fatigue driving warning, rest recommended", and also showing the distance and route to the rest area ahead. The pop-up window background is light blue and the font is white to highlight it. The pop-up window is also equipped with a smiling cartoon image, giving people a friendly feeling.

[0084] ⑤ If the driver has set in advance that he wants to listen to soft music when he is tired, the system will automatically play soothing music.

[0085] 2. Traffic congestion triggers drivers to drive in anger

[0086] ① The on-board camera captures the driver's frowning, gritting his teeth, and tense facial expression. The sound sensor detects that the driver is complaining loudly, with a rapid tone and high volume. The emotion recognition algorithm determines that the driver's emotional state type is anger, and therefore determines that the driver is in an angry driving state.

[0087] ② The accelerometer and gyroscope detected frequent sudden braking and starting actions of the vehicle, and the vehicle's acceleration and deceleration changed dramatically. Through the behavior analysis algorithm, it was determined that the driver was in an unstable state, his behavior was relatively aggressive, and he was greatly affected by anger. Therefore, it was confirmed that the driver was in an angry driving state.

[0088] ③ Get interactive responses in the fatigue driving state: "Dear friend, traffic jams are indeed annoying, but getting angry won't make the road smooth. Let's be patient and everything will be fine soon."

[0089] ④Interactive UI display content: A pop-up window with green as the main color appears on the in-vehicle display screen, which reads "Please stay calm, traffic will improve", and displays the length of the current congested road section and the estimated time to pass. The pop-up window also has a cute little animal smiling, trying to ease the driver's tension.

[0090] ⑤ If the driver has set in advance that he wants to hear humorous words to relieve his emotions when he is angry, the system will say some humorous witticisms, such as: "Don't be anxious, maybe the car in front is enjoying the scenery, let's wait and take a rest." This is just an example and is not limited to this.

[0091] The in-vehicle voice interaction method provided by the embodiment of the present invention identifies the driver's emotional state based on the driver's emotional behavior information, identifies the driver's behavior state based on the driver's driving state information, determines the driver's driving state based on the emotional state and the behavior state, and performs voice interaction based on the driving state. The present invention can determine the driver's current driving state by combining emotional behavior and driving behavior, and meet the driver's driving needs through voice interaction, avoid traffic accidents, and improve driving comfort and safety.

[0092] In this embodiment, a vehicle-mounted voice interaction method is provided, which can be used in a vehicle controller. Figure 4 is a flow chart of a vehicle voice interaction method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0093] Step S401, obtaining the driver's emotional behavior information and driving status information. Figure 2 Step S201 of the illustrated embodiment will not be described in detail here.

[0094] Step S402: Identify the driver's emotional state based on the emotional behavior information, and identify the driver's behavioral state based on the driving state information. Figure 2 Step S202 of the illustrated embodiment will not be described in detail here.

[0095] Step S403: Determine the driver's driving state according to the emotional state and behavioral state, and perform voice interaction based on the driving state. Figure 2 Step S203 of the illustrated embodiment will not be described in detail here.

[0096] Step S404, when it is determined that the driver is in an angry driving state or a dangerous driving state, a preset emergency handling operation is executed, and the preset emergency handling operation includes at least one of the following: limiting the vehicle speed, issuing a warning signal, and contacting emergency services.

[0097] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3As shown, an emergency handling module is provided, and this module is immediately activated when it is detected that the driver has strong emotions such as extreme anger, panic, or serious dangerous driving behaviors, such as speeding out of control, continuous sudden lane changes, and the vehicle is about to lose control. First, the car will quickly limit the speed, reduce the engine power or start the braking system through the vehicle's electronic control unit. At the same time, a strong and eye-catching sound and light warning signal is issued to attract the driver's high attention. In critical situations, emergency services are automatically contacted, such as calling the police and providing the vehicle's accurate location and related situation information to ensure that external rescue support can be obtained in a timely manner. The embodiment of the present invention is described using the scenario in which the driver is in a dangerous driving state due to extreme anger or tension as an example, but is not limited to this:
